I feel like I get a lot of emails and questions regarding the makeup I wear. So I thought I'd do a little insight into how I apply everything. Apologies for the absence, I've been in Hawaii for the past several days. And while the internet is free, much of my time has been spent pathetically trying to cop a tan and stuffing my face with Hawaiin bbq and shave ice. Mahalo!
Base - I use Bare Escentuals powder and mineral veil in Light. I'm naturally pretty pale, and I like it that way (except when I'm in Oahu).
Cheeks - I use Nars in Amour and apply using a large brush on the top of my cheekbones.
Eyes - I start with Nars in Mogambo, a dark brown/ gold color eyeshadow duo. I use a medium eyeshadow brush and apply the gold color from the lid and work up. I use my finger to blend all the way to just below the eyebrow. I also apply generously to the bottom part of the eye. I use another medium eyeshadow brush and apply the dark brown color to the outside of the lid, blending to about mid eye. I also apply generously to the bottom part of the eye, over the gold and use my finger to blend.
Then, I apply Mac Fluidline in Noir, with a Mac eyeliner brush, to either (or both!) the top and bottom part of the eye. If I do both top and bottom, I don't do a cateye. But usually, I prefer a cat eye effect. Shu Uemura eyelash curler and any mascara will do.
Lips - I start with chapstick, and apply either Lancome Juicy Tubes in Spring Fling or Mac Lustre line lipstick in Lustering depending on my mood, or Chanel lipstick in Fire when I need a good go-to red color. Or Julie Hewett's Cheekie lip stain, as I've mentioned before. In this picture, I'm wearing Lustering.
